Here are a few honest words from my very kind and appreciative clients….

Names withheld:

James did a fantastic job getting my website up and running. He was fast, and thorough, and easy to get in touch with. I would recommend anyone needing help to get the help he has. Thanks so much.

James is gold, gold, gold.

Dear James,
Thank you so much for creating this stunning website. By doing so you have given me the platform to show my work to the world and the confidence to shout about it!
You have been amazing to work with and led me by the hand through the whole process. Thanks also for all the gentle nudges to get me into gear with it all. I am so happy with the way it looks and feels – it is beautiful and fantastically user friendly, and will never be able to thank you enough.
Massive hugs and thanks!

I have so many good things to say about James, I don’t even know where to start. Can I just add a “me to” to all the other well deserved glowing comments?
James is tireless in the pursuit of making things run properly. He’s a magician and a fanatic of the best possible sort.
He should charge tons of money for what he does and this is my vote that he should! Or at least something. And if he doesn’t because he is too modest and altruistic make sure you take care of him he’s one of the good guys!

James is one of those rare persons who work with others–he cares about the customers. No request I had was too large or too small and was followed up until the problem was solved. I kept telling him not to hurry and that he could put me at the bottom of the list because I have other things I can do. But I never felt that he actually did that. Every response was completed in record time. His time is very valuable now due to his life situation but that strong need to help others always comes shining through. God bless you, James. You were a gift from Heaven for me!

James was so easy to deal with. I wish the world was full of people like James. I was amazed that he responded to my email right away. I gave him the information he requested thinking it might take a day or so for him to fix my issue yet about ten minutes later I heard back that all systems were go. All of this without discussing a fair price for his services. Feel free to employ his services and give what you can. A top rate program and a fine human.
I will be back for more help and will be happy to send referrals.
Thanks James!

From the first moment, I could feel James’ intention to be of help first and foremost. And I thought, wow really someone out to do something he believes in, to make others happy. He had things up fast and running before I could even check. I know that when I have problems with my sites, I will go to him without hesitating.

James is Amazing, Patient, Kind and Helpful. Smart guys like James who know how to communicate and solve problems are rare. Most tech support is non-existent. That’s where he comes in. He can fix almost anything. Treat him nice and Reward him generously. James is worth more than any figure you could Donate to him.

James is fast, friendly and did a great job for me. I would recommend him to anyone.
Thank you kindly, James!

James is incredible. Not surprisingly, I found him through the recommendation of a fellow internet denizen for whom he had performed his magic earlier.
After I had done something incredibly stupid (moved my website, on which I host a WordPress blog, to a new URL without transferring the database), James managed to help me recovery it, make sure the new installation was up and running perfectly and then do a WordPress upgrade. Throughout, he was courteous, information and gentle with some of my dumb questions.
All of this was achieved in a matter of hours, with an overnight interim to make sure all was well before taking the final steps. Had I been left to my own devices, it might have taken weeks…and still not be done.
He is very good, very fast and highly recommended.

Hi James,
First of all thank you so much for all the work you’ve put into the site. It mirrors the beauty of the pieces and I know Ecaie is over the moon with it. It seems a long time ago since I came to you asking how to remove some text from the banner of the original site, and it is testament to your hard work, skill and professionalism that it has evolved into a living, highly personal space which has been precisely tailored to meet a very exacting set of specifications. As you know I tried my best to produce the site myself but in the end it was way beyond my capabilities, which is when I turned to you. As a frustrated web designer I understand some of what you have achieved with the site in terms of coding and layout, and I know it will have taken a lot of your time to make everything appear so effortless, which makes your participation in this whole project all the more remarkable, especially taking into account your work and other commitments. It is a site to be proud of and I really hope you are – when I initially asked your advice I had hoped you would be able to remove the troublesome text and maybe suggest another WP template to try out. What you have done is way beyond what I hoped for and expected and I am truly grateful to you for everything. You have given Ecaie’s fledgling enterprise the best possible platform from which to grow, and I believe it will be down to you that her work gets the wider audience it deserves. I am deeply indebted to you and hope that if you feel there is anything I can do for you now or in future, you will not hesitate to ask. Thank you for trusting me.
Very Best Wishes.

I recently switched from WordPress.com to WordPress.org, and I must admit, I’m not to keen on any computer coding ie: php, CSS, barely HTML. I did screw some things up while trying to edit a php file which really screwed me, and I couldn’t get any extra help from the install4free group, so in turn they recommended me to James who was ever so kind enough to fix whatever it is that was wrong. Thank you James for being patient and taking the time out to fix this for me. it’s truly appreciated!

James, is very polite and quick. I like how he installed it the very next morning. I would highly recommend him. Great work and thanks again.

James is a wizard ! He saved almost 8 years of my *blogging*,
Kindly, super fast and polite, he gave my writings and memories back to me and ended months of my mourning the lost site.
I, too, wish him all of the best.
Again, thank you, James, so very much.

James seems to be very consciencious and sinercerly interested in helping. More to the point, I think he knows what he is doing. He was very quick to respond. I wish him the best.

James is so easy to work with. Simple, quick and clear emails and amazingly prompt service. Pleasure to donate.

James has provided my site with something that it didn’t have prior to his magic-working…a soul…and, thankfully, a non-erratic one!
Thanks James, worth every penny, your a great asset and a nice guy to boot!

James is truly awesome. I cannot describe how lucky I was to have been pointed in his direction. I accidentally destroyed my blog due to my own foolishness and James came to the rescue! He works fast and gets results, I definitely plan on becoming a returning customer! Thanks James!

James is totally awesome!
I’m supposed to be this techo-wiz but somehow I was really, really, really good at breaking my WP install over and over again. James was uber-kind to keep fixing my goof-ups as I kept pretending I knew what I was doing.
Let me be clear here:
I had no clue what I was doing.
James had every clue what it was I was trying to do and fixed it… again… and again… and AGAIN!
Can’t say enough good things besides obviously, the man is patient.
Oh.. and he knows his WP stuff too!

Desperate situations call for desperate solutions, and James is the Special Forces solution for WordPress. He reloaded my sub-installation and worked the kinks out of several other problem. Most importantly, James is quick to reply and provide the solution.

James is utmost awesome and worked with me throughout the upgrade/redesign process of my blog. He is absolutely knowledgeable in coding such a thing and offers his services at very down to earth reasonable costs. he helped me back when to get started with WordPress too. His responses are lightning quick.
I was stunned and amazed when he said a certain thing was hard but then in a couple hours cranked it right out for my blog to work and work perfectly.
If I need more work in the future, you bet im coming back to James! Thats if, he wants to deal with me again hahahahaha.

Word Press is great software for using on a blog, but it can be complicated. It’s really nice to know that there is someone out there like James when things go wrong, and you don’t know who to call.
I’m really impressed!

I tried upgrading it myself and that was a biiiig mistake! I thought I killed my blog…fortunately I did a backup beforehand. After poking around in some forums, I was referred to a guy named James Burton who would help. I emailed him and all he requested was a donation to his WordPress support website.

I will highly recommend you to anyone I know who may need help with WorkPress or anything else you are able to help with. If you want to let me know what your “thing” is, database, coder, full web site stuff etc., I’ll pass your info along.

I appreciate all your help. You’ve been great.

Thanks heaps for that James! It all works fine now.

Thank goodness there is a James.

It looks great. A page I had created actually is showing up (it wasn’t before).

James,
Thank you so much for you help. I thought all was lost. I don’t know what I would have done without your help. I would love to be able to donate something to you but right now my finances will not permit it. However I will keep your information and when I’m able to do so I will make a donation.
Again, Thank you for your help.
God Bless

That looks great, what address do I send payment for you to? What else do you do?

Thank you James. Great work so quick. Just awesome.

Thanks so much, just the spam alone was huge and now I am running the current. I love it.

Great service. Thanks for your help.

You’re a badass. Thank you!! I’ve spent so many hours researching that problem. Please send a bill or your Paypal details.

Thanks again and if you are ever in Hawaii I’ll buy you a pint at Murphy’s Pub (or perhaps some place a little different then home).

Once again, thank you so much James.

Thanks again for your wonderful service.

You’re brilliant! It worked. It wasn’t doing this with the previous version.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

And from a few of our customers at FreshlyPressed:

Amazing Service by Friendly, Knowledgeable People
I discovered Freshly Pressed several months ago and they impress me more every time I contact them with questions or ask for help. Today is the perfect example of how responsive they are:
12:47 – Support request submitted by me (Sunday afternoon in the USA)
12:53 – Response – they’re working on my request
01:04 – Response – they’ve completed all of the things I asked them to do
I’m even more impressed with their friendliness and patience with my long, rambling emails where I asked way too many questions and gave them much more info than they needed BEFORE I even joined. I really struggle with all of the technical terms and answers at the WordPress Support Forums, and Freshly Pressed has helped me when I’ve messed something up, or deleted something that I shouldn’t have. They’ve been very supportive when I’ve wanted to try to do things on my own, even though it would have been much easier for them to do it themselves! I’ll always have my sites at Freshly Pressed because they’re so friendly, knowledgeable, and experts at what they do, but even more important, they’re really wonderful, kind, people who are respectful to everyone (no matter how much we know or don’t know about computers!), and they have a great sense of humor. Whether you need a little help, or a lot, this is where you want to be!

…without doubt the very best Internet experience of any kind that I have had
Over the last 5 years or so I’ve created well over 100 websites and interfaced with many many service providers be they ISP’s, web hosting companies, internet experts of all kinds, and in a variety of fields. In that time I’ve had good service, excellent service and downright awful service on occasions but thankfully these were few and far between.
Now I’m not too sure how to describe a service that exceeds, in my case, an excellent one but let me briefly try …
I wanted to convert a largish 800+ page website from my own fairly basic FrontPage design using dynamic web templates and css to an interactive WordPress based site. I had a feeling WordPress was the way to go but was not quite sure.
I then took at look at the WordPress site and was immediately confronted with the “Codex” and while this rightly is considered a superb resource it was just too much for me. In the process of scouting around for help I found one of the most unusual and honest websites I’ve seen … freshlypressed.org and my first contact was somebody called Podz (later I learned his first name was Mark).
Upon contact with the company I got a rapid response which is always a good sign and it continued to get better.
Without truly understanding what I wanted James, who had taken up my enquiry, stuck with me and showed amazing patience and a true willingness to listen, question and make suggestions and even teach me without the slightest hint of cost or the clock’s ticking or “what’s wrong with you, stupid”, attitude that may not have been out of place at times, quite frankly.
James made an excellent suggestion that they could help me easly, quickly and at a very low cost to try out the ideas behind a Worpdress website without any contract or ongoing commitment of any kind and never was there a hint of the sales approach. It was a completely transparent and honest way of working which I valued then and have learned to value even more since that initial contact.
Within a day or two the new trial site was up and running and it appeared to satisfy my still ill-defined needs. James and I conversed using email and Google Talk and eventually I decided to take the decision to ask James and freshlypressed to convert my complete site. They agreed and after deciding we were both happy with the price quoted and on the time schedule James quietly and diligently got to work.
With minimum input from myself he managed to create exactly what I wanted within the time he suggested. Throughout the conversion period my questions were never a burden, they were always answered professionally and politely and with understanding and encouragement to learn more myself.
I can continue to describe the processes that resulted in my total and complete satisfaction but prefer to sum the whole process and experience up as without doubt the very best Internet experience of any kind that I have had. This testimonial has been completely unsolicited and I would always be happy to discuss my experiences without anybody thinking of using the services of freshlypressed.org as represented by James and Mark. And the site they created for me is TheKruger.com and I live 6,000 miles from the individuals mentioned. Such is the power of the web when the right people are found.”

I continue to be pleased and finding things easier as I go along.

I would have been off the internet had it not been for the kind support I’ve gotten from Freshly Pressed.
I’m quite good at the internet and on the computer. I feel comfortable with all the technical stuff, as most people are these days. I can write a web page, write a blog, set up some webspace for friends and so forth. Why would I need any help? Why would I go with Freshly Pressed? I’ll tell you why. They rock. I’ve been on the road this last year and unable to access my computer. So, instead of taking a hiatus from administering to my sites, I switched my provider to Freshly Pressed. They do everything that I would do for myself, and with as much attention to detail, as I would if I were doing it myself. Truly? I would have been off the internet had it not been for the kind support I’ve gotten from Freshly Pressed. Look here: http://FatherLuke.org
Look what they’ve done. Thank you Freshly Pressed !

Support is always with a smile and I have never been let down.
I joined Freshly pressed just over a year ago because of what they offered. That is Support with a capitol S. Specialist support for Word-press users. That means a lot to me. I can tell you I have called upon this support a fair few times, from upgrading me to the latest stable release to help with plugins and all manner of other things. Support is always with a smile and I have never been let down. When they say they will sort a problem they will and pretty damn quickly too. Need advice? then the forum is the place to ask. These guys know their stuff I can tell you. Specialist in Word press and Text pattern publishing platforms and experts in many other areas.
I have been with a few hosting companies and non match Freshly pressed. I am here to stay. I would and indeed have recommend Freshly pressed for your hosting needs and am proud to display Freshly pressed as my host on jossblog.
